In less than half an hour, Yang Hai hurried back, took a breath and said to Ling Ruo, who had been waiting for his news: "If you go back to your master, there are indeed officials entering the palace, and Prince Yi and they are also here, it seems that they are discussing something important." ”

And so it was...... Ling Ruo's body shook, and he took several steps back, until his body was against the top of Xiao Ji, and then he stood still, his face full of sadness.

Yang Hai didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, but after the queen came, the master asked him to go to the south study to inquire, and then it was like this, and immediately asked Shui Xiu next to him in a low voice, "What happened?" The master seemed to be very uneasy. ”

Shui Xiu glanced at Ling Ruo and whispered about Shicai, but Yang Hai heard it a little inexplicably, he didn't know what to do with Ling Ruo and Rong Yuan, he only felt that the matter in Tongzhou was related to his master, why he cared so much, and the queen was even more strange, and came to the master to talk about it.

At that time, Shui Yue, who had never spoken much, stepped forward and said: "Master, the queen has always had bad intentions towards you, and I made a special trip to tell you about this today, I'm afraid I won't have any good intentions, but you must be careful, don't fall for her." ”

"Bengong knows how to say, and Bengong knows what kind of calculation she is playing." Ling Ruo held the few behind her and said slowly, until now, Ling Ruoruo couldn't guess the queen's intention to tell her about this, she really lived in vain for more than 30 years, "The queen knows that this palace has always felt guilty about Imperial Doctor Xu for so many years, so she used Imperial Doctor Xu as bait to set up such a game to lure this palace to take the bait." ”

Shui Xiu and Shui Yue glanced at each other, vaguely understanding the queen's purpose, only An'er and Yang Hai were still standing there confused.

"Now that the master has seen through the queen's plan, then don't fall for her." Shui Xiu said eagerly, lest the master would step on it even if he knew that it was a game, it would really be unjust.

"Does Hongu have a choice?" Ling Ruo's words made Shui Xiu's heart sink to the bottom all of a sudden, and the master still decided to take this step.

Shui Yue repeatedly stopped: "Master, you must not, the emperor is already quite blamed for the matter between you and Imperial Doctor Xu, if you go to beg him again now, won't it add fuel to the fire?" ”

Ling Ruo looked at her with a sad expression, "You know what you said, but it is absolutely impossible for this palace to watch Imperial Doctor Xu die, and it is already quite guilty that this palace failed to stop him from going to Tongzhou." If you don't do anything now, this palace will not be at ease for the rest of your life. ”

"Master!" Shui Xiu and the two knelt in front of Ling Ruo together, and said in a wailing voice: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the fourth elder brother, you are his mother, if something happens to you, what will the fourth elder brother do?" ”

Hongli ...... Hearing this name, Ling Ruo's heart suddenly swayed, yes, she can not think about herself, but what about Hongli, in the royal family, in this harem, if you lose the protection of your mother, you will inevitably suffer a lot, Yinxiang is a good example.

She only had one child, how could she be willing to let him suffer like this; But Rong Yuan...... She already owes him a lot, does she owe this life?

This dilemma made Ling Ruo unable to make a decision for a long time, and time passed silently, just when the bell rang nine times in a row, Nanqiu walked in, bowed and said, "Master, the emperor summoned the master to the south study to see the driver." ”

Ling Ruo said in surprise: "Isn't the emperor seeing the courtiers?" ”

"The slave also asked the father-in-law who came to pass the word, and he said that all the adults had gone back, and only the emperor and the queen were in the south study at the moment."

"Queen? She's also in the South Study at the moment? With Nanqiu's affirmative answer, Ling Ruo fell silent, tonight the Nala clan was tightly entangled with her like a ghost, making it impossible for her to get rid of it.

Ling Ruo knew that this would not be a good thing, but Yinzhen made a statement, she had to comply, and immediately took Shui Xiu with the little eunuch waiting outside the Chengqian Palace all the way to the south study.

When they arrived at the south study, Shui Xiu stayed outside the door with the little eunuch, and only Ling Ruo went in alone, and when he entered the room, he saw Yinzhen sitting behind the desk with a gloomy face, and Nala sat on the side with a worried face.

Without waiting for Ling Ruo to see the salute, Yin Zhen had already said to the Nala clan: "Queen, you go back first, I have something to ask Concubine Xi alone." ”

The Nala clan seemed a little uneasy, looked at Yinzhen and then at Ling Ruo, and finally sighed helplessly and left the south study, as for Li Dequan, he also retreated.

After the door of the study was closed, Yin Zhen walked up to Ling Ruo with his hand in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The queen said that she would go to your palace to admire the moon, and accidentally said about Tongzhou, which means that Concubine Xi, you already know the situation in Tongzhou at the moment?" ”

"Yes." Ling Ruo replied with low eyebrows, and the next moment, Yin Zhen's hand gently stroked her cheek, and the palm was slightly rough because of the frequent practice of bows and arrows, and there was a tingling feeling when it stroked the skin.

"What Concubine Xi thinks, I really want to hear it." His voice was so cold that he didn't feel a hint of warmth. He had seen the ministers and was about to draft a decree, but when he heard Li Dequan say that the queen was coming again, he felt strange in his heart and ordered her to come in.

After the Nala clan came in, he knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that he saw that the moonlight was excellent tonight, so he thought of going to Chengqian Palace to admire the moon and talk to Ling Ruo, but he didn't know that he didn't notice it for a while, and he actually told the story of the Tongzhou people's rebellion, and even mentioned that the imperial court might send troops to suppress it.

Originally, she said it, but she didn't know that she saw Ling Ruo crying, and even knelt down and begged her, saying that she would help intercede in front of the emperor and spare Xu Rongyuan's life. Nala was helpless by her pleading, and seeing that she was pitiful, he agreed to come and intercede in front of him.

Ling Ruo, I have already spared you once, but you are still thinking about that damn imperial doctor in your heart, it is really ...... Really......

Yin Zhen forcibly endured the anger that was scurrying in his heart, waiting for Ling Ruo's answer, he wanted to hear with his own ears whether Ling Ruo really remembered that Imperial Doctor Xu.

Although Ling Ruo didn't know what the Nala clan said in front of Yinzhen, he could guess that it was definitely not a good thing, and he was nervously thinking about how to answer at the moment, and only after a while did he say: "The government is a major matter, and the concubines don't dare to discuss it. ”

"If I tell you to say it, you can say it!" Yin Zhen's voice couldn't hear the joy and anger.

After a cold silence, Ling Ruo knelt down in front of Yinzhen, bowed his head and said: "The concubines are brave, please have mercy on the innocent people, and give the people of Tongzhou a way to live!" ”

Yin Zhen's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping, staring at the top of Ling Ruo's head, gritting his teeth and saying, "Do you want me to let the people of Tongzhou have a way to live, or do you want Xu Rongyuan to live?" ”

Ling Ruo's body trembled, but she didn't raise her head, but her attitude was obviously not satisfactory to Yinzhen, pinching Ling Ruo's chin and raising her head, "Answer me!" ”

For Yinzhen, black is black, white is white, there has never been a time when black and white are not distinguished, and the last time Rao was Ling Ruo, it was unprecedented.

The shadows of the lights in the south study shone on Ling Ruo's pale face, which was as fragile as if it would be broken with a poke.
